'I'm one of 16 kids - our family car is a bus and we have three full fridges'

As any parent with several children will know, keeping on top of things like laundry and dishes can be a nightmare that never seems to end no matter how frequently you clean up after your brood.

But one couple that knows that more than most is Tiffany and Benji Nelson, from America, who are the proud parents of an impressive 16 children ranging from adults in their 20s to a five-month-old tot.

And in a TikTok video, their eldest daughter, 25-year-old KennaDee Haddock, has shared a look at what life is like in the Nelson household - including the three fridges they need to make sure everyone is well fed.

KennaDee's video showed her taking viewers around different parts of her family's house, starting with their giant dinner table with built-in Lazy Susan so they don't have to pass food across to one another.

The woman, who posts under the username @kennadee_haddock, then showed off the family's impressive garden that's big enough for "all 16 kids to get married" in, before filming the white party bus that her parents drive whenever they're ferrying around their large brood.

KennaDee also said the family's sink is always full after just one meal with dirty plates and cutlery, and showed that their kitchen includes three fridges, five freezers, and two dishwashers to keep their house running smoothly.

The woman also shared her video on YouTube, and commenters were quick to share their own stories of life in a large family - with many saying it's like a "circus".

One person said: "I have 7 siblings and we live in an average sized house it’s literally always a circus."

As another added: "The full sink after one meal is so relatable."

And a third wrote: "Oh my god, my mum struggles with having 3 - never mind 16!"

Other commenters joked that they would love for KennaDee's parents - who are known for their family YouTube channel, Not Enough Nelsons - to adopt them into the family.

Someone said: "I'm not trying to be rude and I love my family, but sometimes I wish you could adopt me."

While someone else added: "Please consider adopting me."

The Nelson family previously showed off their stunning mansion home, which sprawls over three floors, on their YouTube channel. The home features 10 bathrooms and its own gym, as well as a huge dressing room and a home office.
